It's probably frustrating searching for actual blind playthroughs (blind people) when everywhere you look turns up first playthroughs instead. This language is clearer and will make it easier to find blind players.

I feel like now ironically some blind streamer was some wacky set up to play videogames will get hit for tagging a stream "literal blind playthrough" or something

How would "blind playthrough" make a blind person feel excluded? I think it's kind of offensive to think people with disabilities are so soft and fragile that they can't even acknowledge a phrase (that's not even negative or demeaning) that alludes to their condition.

Probably should remove the word "Play" because it may be offensive to disabled people who cannot participate in physical play.

Blind isn't even referencing actual lack of vision in this context.

I get it if they came after the insult "Are you blind?!?" or something.

What I hate about this type of stuff is that it makes people wonder if they can laugh when I joke about my own disabilities. I constantly make jokes about my scoliosis, cause it's therapeutic and shows mental dominance over my condition.

But the literal dictionary definition of blind includes

  • (of an action, especially a test or experiment) done without being able to see or without being in possession of certain information.
  • "a blind tasting of eight wines"


Im one of the first to be against hate speech but this isnt a comment about blindness the condition at all. Its not derogatory or insulting! I can live with it, sure, but this just feels like people who arent very literate not understanding words have multiple meanings.
